Chapter 121: Roger's Hole Cards
When he unleashed a large magical blizzard, he suddenly cut off an arm, causing Quezaras to be traumatized by both magical and physical attacks, and although he appeared to be innocent on the surface, it was only the result of forcibly suppressing the injury with a secret method. Otherwise, with his strength, he would not have been able to hide in the distance and delay time with words, and it took a lot of effort to summon two elemental spirits.
El slashed through the Earth Elf Grom's restraints while dodging the Saloman's flaming arrows. Although facing the attack of the two elemental spirits, the expression on his face was only cautious and not panicked.
Grom was hit hard by the wind scar, but the current environment was the most suitable place for the earth element to exert its power, and in just one breath, he recovered about six or seven percent of the injuries caused by the wind scar, and then surfaced to the ground again, grabbing at El's feet. But this time he didn't succeed, and what he got was a big foot that El stepped on.
The mere rocks were not enough to withstand the power of the Insight Rune, and El had suffered a loss only because he was not mentally prepared, and when he knew about Grom's existence, this kind of sneak attack naturally lost its meaning. Seeing Grom's huge body gliding under the earth like water, and reaching out to repeat his old trick, Ellen snorted and lifted his foot and stepped down heavily.
The muscles on his body tensed suddenly, and the entire fortress wall shook slightly as soon as he stepped on it. The masonry within a radius of two meters under his feet shattered inch by inch, and was trampled out of a large pit. Grom's arms were hidden at El's feet, and the next moment he was about to break through the ground, and there was no time to dodge, and the two arms suddenly shifted with the masonry next to him, almost crushed into rubble.
Grom let out a scream, dragging his arm to hide deep in the ground again, and at this time, the second attack of the Saloman snake also followed like a maggot on the tarsal bone, El did not dodge, grasped the wind mark and raised a knife with his backhand, the ordinary blade collided with the flying flame arrows, and the two flame arrows disappeared in an instant, leaving only residual temperature and light in the air. In the light of the fire, El and Quezaras looked at each other deeply, and they both sensed a real mortal threat.
At the same time, there was another person who also noticed the unusual atmosphere between the two.
"They're all stalling for time, El wants to try the knife, and the magician's purpose is to kill people......" Lolana sighed and whispered to Palanti. 【Starter】
Just now, El slashed Quezalas's arm, which naturally ended Blizzard's attack. The robbers who escaped were still in a state of panic, and the Night's Watch troops didn't know what to do for a while, only Palanti reacted quickly and sorted out his troops as quickly as possible. Lorana's eyes were always on the walls of the fortress.
When she saw Quezaras summon the elemental spirits of fire and earth, she frowned and looked up at the top of the cave. Although the blizzard is gone, the cold that Quezaras brought when he summoned the blizzard did not dissipate so easily. The roof of the cave was also covered with a thin layer of frost.
Lolana secretly calculated in her heart, her face suddenly changed, she didn't care about anything else, she grabbed Palanti's sleeve and said loudly: "Go and support El, so that he doesn't waste time!"
With Palanti's character, of course, she wouldn't ask more questions about the reason at this time, if it weren't for the heavy criminal record and the heavy responsibility, she would have wanted to rush forward a long time ago. At this time, when she heard Luo Lana's order, she didn't think carefully in her mind at all, and the whole person subconsciously ran out. She took two steps forward, broke away from the defensive line of the Istalene warriors and came to an open area with no one on the left and right, she had already drawn her sword in her hand, leaned down slightly, and directly turned into a flash of silver light and rushed towards the Night's Watch Fortress.
Roger and Kenan also heard Lorana's words, but before they could react, they couldn't help but be stunned to see that Palanti had already scurried out like a rabbit. At this time, Lolana also turned to the two and said, "Mr. Roger, Mr. Kenan, we must immediately break through the Night's Watch Fortress, and then kill it as quickly as possible." That magician doesn't just want our lives, he doesn't even want to let the Night's Watch Fortress go!"
"It can't be!Miss Lorana, it's impossible!" Kenan exclaimed in disbelief. He hadn't followed the bandit army into the second layer of ancient ruins, and he hadn't seen Lolana's wisdom, so it was naturally impossible to trust her unconditionally at this time. Quezalas's attempt to dispose of their demon-clearing force was beyond Kenan's cognitive and psychological bottom line. As for Lorana's statement that he was going to destroy the Night's Watch fortress altogether, it was so ridiculous that Kenan subconsciously refused to believe such an inference.
The reason is also very simple - why would he do such a stupid thing that harms others and does not benefit himself? The Night's Watch, as a secret unit directly under the Truth Society, has been stationed here since a thousand years ago. Although the inheritance was interrupted during this period, it was also a mistake in the decision-making of the upper echelons of the Truth Society, and the army itself remained loyal to the Truth Society, and its combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. To put it another way, over the past thousand years, the human and material costs that the Truth Society has invested in maintaining this force have been more than enough to build a nation.
If Kennan's army might have a problem to deal with, just destroy the Night's Watch Fortress? Wipe out all the Night's Watch? Only a madman with in his head would do such a crazy thing! What reason did he have to attack his own people? Just because some plan failed a thousand years ago?
"There are many ways for a magician to kill people, and he chooses the most troublesome one. And for something like magic, the more troublesome it is, the more terrifying it is. Not surprised by Kennan's questioning, Lorana raised her head and pointed to the top of the cave and said:
"Judging by the strength shown by this Shadow Councilor, Mr. Quezalas, it is likely that he is an elemental envoy who has reached the pinnacle of the Silver Rank. And if such a character just wants to get rid of us insignificant little bugs, there are many easy ways to do so. For example, a firestorm that is not less powerful than the blizzard just now, but is released more quickly, can burn us all to charcoal. ”
Lolana stared at the frost covering the top of the cave, and her face gradually turned cold: "But he had to choose a composite blizzard magic, not only to kill us, but also to freeze the rocks here without attracting attention. The next thing he summoned was the elemental spirits of fire and earth, do you know what that means?"
"If this battle continues, the flames of the Saloman will reheat the rocks, and Grum's natural ability will shake the mountains...... The originally solid rock layer here will collapse devastatingly under the dual action of the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction and the principle of earth resonance!"
"So the real reason why he controlled General Hank was not to control the situation, but to leave the Night's Watch forces leaderless......" Roger nodded, thinking of a deeper reason. From the very beginning when they met Quezaras, they thought that this guy was like a psychopath, and his thinking logic was completely different from that of normal people. But if we follow Lorana's line of thought, there are reasonable answers to many puzzling questions.
Quezalas's purpose was to kill people, but the scope of this killing was a little broader, and he actually wanted to use the entire Night's Watch Fortress as Adrian's burial!
Why do you want to be so mad? Not just Kennan, everybody wants to know the answer to that question. But it was clear that Quezalas would not be so kind to answer for them.
"Well, then, let's do what Miss Lolana said. Roger figured out the key to this and immediately made up his mind. Kenan, however, shook his head and said, "If you're going to attack the fortress, the Night's Watch will fight back with you as a real enemy." Don't underestimate the defensive capabilities of the fortress, we don't have siege machinery, even if everyone is combined, it is impossible to break this fortress!"
"You told me not to underestimate the Night's Watch's stronghold, but not to underestimate me. A meaningful smile appeared on Roger's face, and he looked at Knight Kenan and said slowly, "Even if the relationship between the robbers and the Night's Watch was not bad for hundreds of years before this, but we have invested so much in entering the ruins to find the treasure of the King of Thieves, how can we rest assured that we will leave the back road to the care of strangers?"
"There's a hole card specially prepared for this, and I haven't used it even in the most dangerous times, just to prevent this kind of accident!"
Roger sneered and raised his hand and snapped his fingers, squeezing out a sneaky figure from the bandit team behind him, the reason why it is said to be sneaky is because although this guy's body is stronger than ordinary people, but he wraps himself tightly like Lolana, hiding his head and tail and refusing to show his true face.
Lolana stared at the sudden appearance of the figure quietly, her eyes narrowing slightly. Even with her acumen, she never noticed that there was such a guy around Roger. It is conceivable that this hole card must also be Roger's confidence against the Istalon warriors.
The sneaky figure pushed away the robbers around him and walked out, and when he stepped out of the team, his body actually grew a punch in front of everyone's eyes, and by the time he walked to Roger's side, he had turned into a behemoth three meters tall and three meters horizontally.
